It is very easy to set, that a want of
time.on iite. part of the tommit tee, ould
beget the habit of trusting to the statements
and calculations of the Bank officers, and
thus practically make the 10th Section of
the Charter the exclusive rule of action in
the premises ; t bich Section, the Act of
1824,'nis intended'to anetid; otherwise.

tore it seems, that the Legislature had
crme,to think that it really bad no power
"',t examine minutely the affairs of the
Batik." according to the Act of 1824, and
consequently, during the Session of 1843,
it 'enacted, " That either 'Branch 6f the
Legislatnre,'shld hereafter, havefull pow
er and auitioritj, to ',cll. for any informa.
tidn which thjy' may deem necessary from
the Bank'of jhe State of South-Carolina
or the Branches thereof; and the said
Bank and Branches. are hereby required
to furnish any -information called for by
either Branch of the Legislature." What
is; more, this Act is-styled " an Act. to
restore to each Branch of the Legislature,

Act in itsparpose and-pt ltcy, is not difer=

neither enitiraea or fdiciliiates the powers

Latest and Interesting from. Martinique.
By the arrtval of the brig Columbus
Captain Webster, we are placed in posdess
ion of intelligence from Martinique, one
of the French West India Islards, to the
2d instant.
All the previous accounts relative to the
horrible butchery of. the white inhabitants
of the island, by the slave poplation. ate
corrohorated, antd many additional parti
culars furnished.
On hoard the Columbus ate Messrs. J.
B. Durhamlp, E. Duchamp. L. Duchamp,
F. Crassous, '. Regnal, and T. Dresgrotto,
formerly wealthy planters of. the island,
w ho, with their families,. in ill thirty-five
persons, were obliged suddently to -seek
refuge on board the vessel to save their
lives. They escaped from the shore in the
night, leaving all their property behind.
Fears were..entertained that.the blacks
would attack the brig, but Captain Webs
ter gallantly determined. and made every
preparation. to resist any attempt of toe
kind. For Captain W's efforts in their
bctalf, the above unfortmate persons ex
press their heartfelt gratitude, and that is
all they have to uffer him. not having sav
ed hardly a dolfar of their valuable pro
perty.
The blacks were massacreing the white
inhabitants daily. Some. thirty-six pet.
suns. including women, and children, were
on'one occasion .driven.itnto a house, the
building set'. fire, and with its unfortu.
nate inmates, entirely consumed.
~ The white inhabitants were fleeing to
every place that alforded the possibility of
an asylum from the vindictive assaults of
their Woes. A number had escaped to New.
Orleatns. Some captains of vessels, had
declined taken any of the refugees on hoard
their vessels, fearing, au attack from the
blaclcs.
Business of all kinds was at a stand, se
veral 'vessels were in port, unable to dis
posed of their cargoes.
Capt. Webster is of opinion that if as
sistance were not speedily received, the
place wonld be entirely destroyed.
The ue' governor, appointed by the
French republic, had aot arrivea, but- was

Lectures of Psychological Electricitry.
-This course of lectures promises to opda
a new field of electrical research and ex
periment the following communicatioc
trom a scientific correspondent may, he
assures us, he relied on for its accurfcy
*Allow me, Mr. Editoi, to draw the
attention of' your teaders, and that of the
citizens of Charlestoni generally. to the
advertisement of Dr. Williams, of North
Carolina. on the subject of -Psycttological
Electricity.' It is merely necessary to
state, that Dr, Williams,-when in posses
sion of tre Electrical action of a subject
,body, can make him perform feats of ac
tivity far more astonishing than Dr. Wil
liams could with his own body, or the
subject with his, independent of this ac
quired power on the part of the elect riser.
These feats are such, as to place beyond
all doubt the question of inpo3ture,-sc
that it is only necessary to witness themt,
to have this astonishing science establish:
ed forever. The science is simple. Placed
in the same electric state with the subject,
the will of.Dr: Williams moves the elec
tric currents-of the subject-body unde- the
some laws that he does his own; so- tha
the subject.body becomes a part. of' his owr
as it were. The suhject-body, too. i
made to yield to Dr. \Villiams, will it
perfect submission i or rather, in spite of
all 'ipposition on the part of the subject'i
own will. It is a.strange declopemen
of the power of the human will on time out

CE[RTIFICATES.
O'ldhorpe Uounly, i1pr;l22.'1847.
I have used, for the last three years, a ia
chine that was made by R. S.. renshaw. of
Crawlordville. Ga. I considor it one of the
best Gius I have ever seen. Two small mules
will gin, with a great deal of ease, three bales
per day, and 1 <in not think the ii i Gin in
Georgi:t that can excell it in n. ing tine cot=
ton. In fact, Mr. Crenehaw hustso!d a great
inany Gins in this county and lhert. and I
think every man who purchased is perf:ctly
satisfied. All of his Gins which have been
sold in tiis county, and they are nott a t-w. ron
light, pick f:ist; and whn't is better than all. when
the cotton is carried to market it sells for the
very highest price.

Taliaf:rro Counly. Ga.
This is'to certify Ihat I purchased of .. D.
Hamnmack last year, a 45 saw anti fi ictin cot
ton -in, which sakes superior cotton to aiy
gin I have ever had. I carried to Angusta a
part of my crop last fall, which was proannnced
by one of the best judges ofcatto in Augusta,
to be the fittest lot that was in his warehouse.
Two of my neighbors lately sold their crops,
ginned on any gin, and obtained five-eighths ot
a rent per lb. above the market price. I have
not sold my catton, but feel confident of getting
the highest market price when I do sell From
all that I know of Mr. Ilammack's make of
G.ir.s.and there nro several in operation aroutd
me. I would say to those wishing to purchase,
they would do well:to try Ins ba-tore purchasing
elsewhere. . M -RTHA GtFFJN.

I hereby certify that I puchased of. J. 1).
Hammack,'Iast"year; n forty -sity anti friction
cotton Gin, which perforied as-well asiiy gin
I have ever seen tried It nade cotton egmal,
in my opinion, to that of any ufthe Carver gins.
which are so Ili bly prised for their cotton.
My gin and gir,botnte were consnmed by time,
and ns.a report has gore abroad that the house
was fired b:the gi. I take this opportunity to
say. in justice to Mr. Matntnack, that it is iIlse.
